Ram Charan's 'Game Changer' targeting Christmas 2024 release
What's the story
Telugu superstar Ram Charan's forthcoming political action thriller, Game Changer, is aiming to release during the Christmas season of 2024.

Production details
'Game Changer' marks first collaboration between Charan and Shankar
The film, directed by Shanmugam Shankar and co-starring Kiara Advani, has been in production since October 2021. This marks the first-ever collaboration between Charan and director Shankar. Initially slated for an October release, Game Changer has faced several delays. In the film, Charan portrays an IAS officer battling corruption while Advani reportedly plays a fellow officer.
Box office competition
'Game Changer' to compete with major Christmas 2024 releases
The Christmas 2024 release of Game Changer will coincide with several other major film premieres. These include Aamir Khan's drama Sitaare Zameen Par, Hollywood blockbuster Mufasa: The Lion King, Varun Dhawan's action flick Baby John, and Nithiin's romantic comedy Robinhood. Despite the competition, the film is tipped to be the most expensive in Charan's career and he will greatly benefit from the hype generated post-RRR.
Upcoming projects
